The Miles 'Til Home
Chasing Shadows: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'The Miles 'Til Home'
Lyrics
You finally chased the rest of them away.
You've successfully removed certain people from your life.
You finally chased the rest of them away.
-You finally chased the rest of them away.
-You finally chased the rest of them away.
-And the weak ones were the ones that stayed.
The ones who stayed were not strong or resilient.
And the place they held before you came
Their positions changed due to your presence, yet their behavior remained unchanged.
Changed but they acted just the same.
-And the names that carried so much faith drained your tired mind.
The names you trusted or respected have exhausted you mentally.
And the best one stayed behind, watching out for open road,
Someone reliable stayed back, looking out for your journey, counting the distance until you reach home.
Counting all the miles 'til home.
-And it seems you leaned on the wrong guy.
You relied on someone who wasn't trustworthy, causing pain.
And it hurt the place you...
-Held, you held within your heart.
The place of emotional significance to you was destroyed or lost.
It got erased and where it was has now gone dark.
-So you left. You left without a trace.
You departed without leaving any signs or clues.
And you never, no you never, no you never,
You never returned until those who remembered you forgot your existence.
No you never came back 'til the last ones forgot your name.
-Don't change your mind tonight.
Don't reconsider your decision tonight.
Caught along the open road, counting all the miles 'til home,
Still on the journey, counting the distance to get back home.
And it seems you dreamed on the wrong sky.
You aimed for something unrealistic or unattainable.
You gave your last request to a firing line
You entrusted your final wish or desire to a situation that might harm you, believing it's inconsequential what you do.
And you said it doesn't matter what you do, babe.
-You always feel it chasin' you and it blocks the sun from the sky.
Something haunting or troubling constantly overshadows your happiness or light.
You just wish you had more time.
You wish for more time than you currently have.
You say you never win. I say that's a lie.
You express a feeling of perpetual loss or failure, while someone else contradicts this perception.
